If you could change a law in some say such as ban or legalise something what would it be?
For me I would ban factory farming Its the greatest source of animal cruelty in the world but is unlikely to get banned any time soon.

There are some laws I would definitely change right off the bat. But I'm not going to discuss it here for obvious reasons. People who know me well enough could hint at to which ones I'm talking about.

I wonder what would happen if they legalized illegal drugs. Gets rid of the cartels (though we still have to deal with those from other countries.

I'm not advocating this, by the way. I'm just curious.

They did this in Portugal over 15 years ago. Here's a very interesting article about the effects of this decision: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/dec/05/portugals-radical-drugs-policy-is-working-why-hasnt-the-world-copied-it

More strictly enforce the constitution and people's fundamental rights. If someone wants to share something, they should be able to share it without the threat of being attacked by someone's...metal bat. If someone wants to start a business and someone else wants their business on that street corner they do NOT have the right to go and trash the property out of hurt emotion BS. Also, punishment should be more severe for breaking laws.

But that stuff's just a general set of changes, not one particular law.

Obesity is a problem in this country.

But, at least in NYC, the percentage of people who "look" obese is actually quite low---maybe 10-15%.

There are many people who are slightly overweight, though.

The law that prevents people from owning reptiles in my country.

The law was softened up in August, but I want it entirely gone, so that species that aren't endangered or dangerous can be kept as pets.


I would make it illegal to ever hunt a species with fewer than 100 population regardless of how much the farmers want to (this is about the norwegian mismanagement of the wolf population)

setting wildfires should be punishable by death TBH


unless it's to deny fuel to an existing one, done by actual firefighters of course.

I never really understood that policy its not like exotic reptiles are going to establish themselves in Norway.

maybe it's a disease-related thing.



removing penalties on faithless electors would be nice, too.

Is that a church tax thing? Its weird how the US is much more religious than Europe yet the Church has far more power in Europe, here in the UK we have unelected members of the church within out government the only other country to do this is Iran.

To stop treating abuse victims as criminals.

To stop treating sex slaves as criminals.

To protect families from kids who are violent and a danger to everyone in the home and also stop treating them like crimals and child abusers for trying to keep everyone in the home safe

I’d remove the nfa and supporting laws. Be rid of atf.

Locally I’d get rid of the ban on exotic animals. So I could have a pet fox?
